ABSTRACT:
A robot apparatus composed of a plurality of component units comprises a first storage unit for storing shape information for determining shapes of the component units, a second storage unit for storing motion information required to describe motions of the component units, a third storage unit for storing characteristic information on electric parts contained in the component parts, and a detector for detecting coupling states of the respective component units. A controller can automatically recognize the entire structure and motion characteristics of the respective component units based on the detection results of the detector. Thus, it is possible to realize a robot apparatus which can be applied to a configuration including two or more separate groups of arbitrary component units combined into a complete assembly, and thus facilitate the architecture of a new form.
